Le pair-aidant est une personne vivant ou ayant vécu un problème de santé mentale et dont les aptitudes et la formation en font un modèle de rétablissement positif. Le pair-aidant favorise ainsi la reconnaissance, par les professionnels, du vécu et du savoir expérientiel. Ce livre est structuré sur les dix dimensions du rétablissement et les dix compétences définies par le CanMEDS (Collège royal des médecins et chirurgiens du Canada), dont les pairs-aidants doivent faire preuve en tant qu’experts du rétablissement. Chaque chapitre comporte également le compte rendu analytique d’une entrevue avec des représentants d’un pays partenaire (« Vignette vivante ») et un exercice de réflexion. Un quiz est disponible en fin d’ouvrage. Préfaces du Dr Roger Ng et du Pr Nicolas Franck. Postfaces de M. Paul Dileo, des Prs Larry Davidson et Michael Rowe et du Dr Patrick Cossette
